News

  • Cut free by Bears

    The Bears released Gabriel (concussion) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel made it through two seasons of a four-year, $26 million contract, producing 41.6 receiving yards per game and six touchdowns in 25 regular-season appearances for the Bears. He suffered two concussions in 2019, with the second keeping him out for the final five weeks of the season. With the 29-year-old speedster out of the picture, Riley Ridley and Javon Wims could be in the mix for a starting job in Chicago, though the team still has free agency and the draft ahead to find better…read more

  • Won't return for finale

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Gabriel will miss a fifth straight game after suffering his second concussion of the season in a Week 12 win over the Giants. He made seven starts in nine appearances this season, catching 29 of 48 targets (60.4 percent) for 353 yards (7.4 YPT) and four touchdowns. A 6-75-3 receiving line against Washington in Week 3 was Gabriel's only real highlight for fantasy purposes, and the overall production through two seasons hasn't matched his four-year, $26 million contract. Gabriel will turn 29 in…read more

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: With no practice reps under his belt since he sustained his second concussion of the season Week 12 against the Giants, Gabriel can effectively be ruled out for the Bears' finale Sunday against the Vikings. Chicago will likely provide confirmation on Gabriel's status at the conclusion of Friday's practice.

  • DNP on estimated report

    Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant Wednesday on the Bears' estimated practice report, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Since sustaining his second concussion of the season in the Bears' Week 12 game against the Giants, Gabriel hasn't been able to practice in any fashion. At this point, Gabriel would appear to have little chance of gaining clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Vikings.

  • Out for another week

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Gabriel will miss a fourth consecutive game after suffering his second concussion of the season. Anthony Miller has been thriving as the No. 2 receiver, while Javon Wims, Cordarrelle Patterson and Riley Ridley haven't done much with their extra opportunities. Ridley led the group in snap share (49 percent) during last week's loss to Green Bay, but Patterson wasn't far behind at 44 percent, and Wims (10 percent) could get more involved now that he's moved past a minor knee injury. In any case,…read more

  • Sidelined for practice

    Gabriel (concussion) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel will have one more opportunity this week to get in some form of activity on the practice field, but it doesn't appear likely he'll be able to do so. Since being diagnosed with his second concussion of the season coming out the Week 12 game against the Giants, Gabriel hasn't resumed practicing in any fashion and has missed three consecutive games. Expect him to sit out again Sunday in the Bears' home finale versus Kansas City.

  • Still no activity in practice

    Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Gabriel hasn't sniffed the practice field since sustaining his second concussion of the campaign Week 12. Until he makes some noticeable progress through the league's protocol for head injuries, he won't be a candidate for game action. Look for Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller to continue hogging the snaps and targets afforded to Bears wide receivers in the final two games of the season.

  • Won't face Packers

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Anthony Miller is locked in as the No. 2 receiver for at least one more week, with Javon Wims (knee), Cordarrelle Patterson and Riley Ridley also in the mix for snaps behind Allen Robinson. Wims drew six targets and played 91 percent of snaps in a Week 13 matchup with the Lions, but he's listed as questionable for the Bears' upcoming game after he suffered a knee injury during last week's win over Dallas. Meanwhile, Gabriel still hasn't returned to practice, making slow progress (if any)…read more

  • Held out Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Gabriel has made no noticeable progress through his second concussion of the season, putting him in danger of missing a third consecutive contest (and fifth overall in 2019). Friday's injury report could seal his fate on that front. Because fellow wideouts Cordarrelle Patterson (head, limited Thursday) and Javon Wims (knee, DNP on Wednesday and Thursday) also are tending to health concerns, the Bears are down to just Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller and rookie Riley Ridley at the moment.

  • Still not practicing

    Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: It stands to reason whether or not the Bears should allow Gabriel to get back on the field this season as he goes through the concussion protocol for the second time. Fortunately, the protocol exists, and he has yet to make enough progress to get back on the practice field, let alone in front of an independent neurologist. Until he does so, there's no telling when Gabriel will play again.

  • Not playing Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: In the concussion protocol for the second time this season, Gabriel has yet to take the practice field since sustaining his latest head injury. He'll have 10 days between Week 14 and the Bears' Week 15 contest at Green Bay to clear all five phases of the protocol, the last of which is an evaluation in front of an independent neurologist.

  • Still unable to practice

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't practice Tuesday, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel still hasn't practiced since picking up his second concussion of the season in Week 12's 19-14 win over the Giants, so he's trending toward missing another game if he can't get on the field Wednesday. Anthony Miller and Javon Wims have both enjoyed increased snap counts in Gabriel's stead, and the former produced a whopping nine catches for 140 yards in a Thanksgiving win over the Lions.

  • Still in concussion protocol

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, coach Matt Nagy announced prior to practice that Gabriel still remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, so it doesn't come as a major surprise that the wideout wasn't able to take any reps in the Bears' first practice of Week 14. Given that Gabriel previously suffered a concussion in September that kept him sidelined for two games, he'll have a tough time gaining clearance from his second head injury of the season ahead of Thursday's matchup with the…read more

  • Ruled out for Thanksgiving

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Lions.

    Analysis: Gabriel sustained his second concussion of the season in Sunday's win over the Giants, so it comes as little surprise that he won't be ready to play on the short week. In Gabriel's absence Thursday, expect Javon Wims to see increased opportunities alongside Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller.

  • Sits out Tuesday's practice

    Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Gabriel suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's win over the Giants, and according to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, coach Matt Nagy said "it'd be a stretch" for Gabriel to suit up Thursday against the Lions. Gabriel's absence from a second straight practice along with the fact that it's his second head injury support that notion, and he'll have one more opportunity to get onto the field Wednesday. Javon Wims is in line for increased duties if Gabriel is ultimately ruled out.

  • Picks up another concussion

    Gabriel was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Gabriel previously missed two games this season with a head injury, so he'll be hard-pressed to get through the concussion protocol in time for Thursday's game at Detroit, and could potentially be sidelined beyond that point. During the aforementioned pair of DNPs, Javon Wims filled in for Gabriel, reeling in four of six targets for 56 yards.

  • Held to one reception

    Gabriel caught one pass for 19 yards in Chicago's 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even though Mitchell Trubisky threw the ball 41 times, Gabriel was targeted just three times. Coming into this game, he had posted at least 39 yards in each of the previous four contests, but for the fourth time this season, he was held to fewer than 25 receiving yards. As a player with limited upside and significant downside, he profiles as a risky flex option.

  • Leads team with 14 targets

    Gabriel had seven catches (14 targets) for 57 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Gabriel was targeted early and often, but Mitch Trubisky's inability to get him the ball downfield led to a lackluster fantasy line outside of full PPR formats. The 14 targets were a promising sign, as the 28-year-old failed to top seven looks since his incredible three-touchdown performance back in Week 3. It's hard to trust any Chicago receiving option given the inconsistent play under center, but Gabriel does appear to have a strong rapport with Trubisky, which gives the veteran PPR value…read more

  • Scores fourth touchdown of season

    Gabriel caught four passes for 39 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 20-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gabriel scored his TD on a great play call that left a deep safety out of position while he easily outran his defender to the end zone. He's now posted at least 53 yards or a touchdown in four of his last five games, despite averaging just five targets per appearance. With his recent run of production, he's beginning to look like a player who can be trusted as a flex option.

  • Targeted three times

    Gabriel caught three passes for 69 yards in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: In a game that Mitchell Trubisky threw for just 125 yards, Gabriel was fortunate to come away with a respectable performance. On his 53-yard reception, the defense lost track of him, providing his quarterback with one of his easiest throws of the afternoon. He also helped to extend a drive with a critical catch on a third-down play. Although his targets are inconsistent on a week-to-week basis, he's posted at least 53 yards in three of his last four games, and he's emerging as a useful depth…read more

  • Targeted six times

    Gabriel caught four passes for 53 yards in Chicago's 17-16 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gabriel was second on the team with six targets, and he had a chance for a big play when he was wide open deep down field, but the ball was significantly overthrown. Although he's posted at least 53 yards in two of his last three games, he also has a pair of games with fewer than 12 yards over the last four weeks, making him a difficult player to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Nearly invisible

    Gabriel caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 36-25 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gabriel was nearly invisible in this contest, largely because the Bears were unable to sustain any consistent offense, and Mitchell Trubisky was under extreme duress, keeping him from taking his time to locate receivers. Aside from his huge performance against Washington in Week 3, he's averaged 14 yards over his other three games, making him a volatile fantasy option with a scary floor.

  • Ready to return from concussion

    Gabriel (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Gabriel came back from a Week 6 bye as a full practice participant throughout the week. With Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) also set to return, the Chicago offense is in good health for a tricky matchup versus the red-hot Saints defense.

  • Practices fully again

    Gabriel (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Though Gabriel logged every rep in practice for the second day in a row, the Bears have yet to indicate that he's been removed from the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout will still have two full days to receive clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of the Bears' matchup Sunday with the Saints.

  • Listed as full participant

    Gabriel (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: There's been no word from the Bears that Gabriel has completed his journey through the concussion protocol, but he still may have to face an evaluation in front of an independent neurologist before he can suit up again. On a positive note, he participated in every drill Wednesday, putting himself in a great position to play for the first time since Week 3.

    Analysis: This marks Gabriel's first on-field work since he suffered a concussion Week 3. The Bears won't release an injury report until Wednesday, but it's encouraging that he made an appearance at practice following the team's Week 6 bye.

    Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders in London.

    Analysis: Gabriel continues to deal with complications of a concussion suffered Week 3, getting listed as a DNP on all five of the Bears' injury reports in the interim. The team won't risk any sort of setback with the wide receiver as it embarks on the trip across the pond.

  • No practice reps Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Gabriel's journey through the concussion protocol has been a slog to date, as he has yet to take the practice field or have anything aside from a DNP tag on the Bears' past five injury reports. Assuming another absence from Gabriel in London against the Raiders on Sunday, the Bears' pecking order at wide receiver will be Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Javon Wims and Cordarrelle Patterson.

  • Still not practicing

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Gabriel has yet to practice since sustaining a concussion during a Week 3 victory at Washington. With no tangible progress to date in the protocol for head injuries, there's no telling when he'll be available to the Bears offense again. In Gabriel's absence this past Sunday against the Vikings, the Bears trotted out Allen Robinson, Javon Wims and Cordarrelle Patterson in the starting lineup, though Anthony Miller received far more offensive snaps (43 versus seven) than the latter.

    Gabriel (concussion) will not play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel suffered a concussion toward the end of his three-touchdown performance in Monday's win over Washington. His upcoming absence leaves more work for Anthony Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson and Javon Wims, though Chicago might also give Tarik Cohen a few more snaps in the slot (and move Miller outside more).

  • No activity Thursday

    Gabriel (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Gabriel has kicked off Week 4 prep with back-to-back absences as he goes through the protocol for head injuries. He likely will need to make his presence felt Friday to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Vikings.

    Gabriel (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: In the midst of his three-touchdown outburst Monday at Washington, Gabriel suffered a concussion, an injury that must be taken case by case. With no practice reps to kick off Week 4 prep, he isn't exactly in a great spot, but two sessions remain to prove his health before a potential visit to an independent neurologist.

    Gabriel suffered a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Redskins, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel had a monster night before exiting the contest, leading the Bears with six receptions for 75 yards and three touchdowns. Look for Anthony Miller and Cordarrelle Patterson to potentially see some extra reps to close out Monday's game. Gabriel will have to pass concussion protocol testing this week before he can return to the field.

  • Two targets

    Gabriel caught one pass for 11 yards while adding an additional 14 yards on one rushing attempt in the Bears'16-14 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: After seeing five targets in the opener, Gabriel saw just two in this contest, as the team went to a much more run-heavy approach. His fantasy value often comes from splash plays, so he'll be a difficult player to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Posts 24 yards

    Gabriel caught two passes for 24 yards in the Bears' loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Gabriel was called for pass interference on a long completion, and he also had a deep reception overturned by replay, so despite his unimpressive numbers, there was potential for him to have had a much stronger performance. Although he may not see the career-high 93 targets he was given in 2018, his blazing speed will always give him splash-play potential, making him a player with a high variance of weekly fantasy performances.

  • Not suiting up Friday

    Gabriel is not expected to play in Friday's preseason contest against the Giants.

    Analysis: Gabriel is on track to miss his second straight preseason contest. He'll join fellow receivers Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller (ankle) and Cordarrelle Patterson on the sidelines, leaving reps available for depth wideouts such as Javon Wims and Riley Ridley. It remains to be seen whether Gabriel will take the field before Week 1.

  • Rests during preseason opener

    Gabriel was declared inactive for the Bears' preseason contest against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Most of the Bears' skill position starters sat this contest out, so there's no reason for concern. Going into his second year with the team, he's expected to retain his role as a starting receiver, and he'll look to build on a season in which he set career highs with 67 receptions and 688 yards. However, he struggled down the stretch last year, failing to exceed 33 yards in four of his last five games. He's looking like he'll be a depth option in most fantasy leagues this year.

  • Hoping to build on career year

    Gabriel has improved his connection with Mitchell Trubisky this offseason, Alyssa Barbiere of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Not only was Gabriel learning a new offense last year, but he also was working with Trubisky for the first time. The development didn't stop Gabriel from posting a career-high 67 receptions and 688 yards, though he topped 33 yards just once over the last five games of the season. While he's displayed improved chemistry with his quarterback, he may struggle to see much of an increase on the 93 targets he saw in 2018, especially with Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller (shoulder), Tarik Cohen, Trey…read more

  • Showing major growth

    Bears wide receivers coach Mike Furrey said Gabriel has shown "huge growth" since last offseason, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Furrey suggests Gabriel needed some time to buy into the importance of detail in coach Matt Nagy's offense, with the wide receiver initially believing he could get by on speed alone. Gabriel enjoyed back-to-back 100-yard games early last season, but he then averaged just 3.6 catches for 35 yards in his final 11 contests, failing to score a touchdown after Week 6. While a second year in the same offense may help his efficiency, Gabriel faces a challenge to match his 2018 volume (93 targets) with…read more

  • Receives six touches

    Garbiel caught four passes for 37 yards while adding a pair of rushing attempts for 20 yards in the Bears' 16-15 playoff loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Gabriel was targeted nine times and used mostly on short-to-intermediate passes to help move the chains in the Bears' playoff loss. Gabriel ended the season -- his first with the Bears -- with 67 catches for 688 yards and two scores, but he didn't find the end zone after Week 4 and only had two strong fantasy performances all year. He'll enter the second of a four-year contract as a low-upside fantasy option who has yet to post 700 receiving yards in any of his five NFL seasons.

    Analysis: This confirms Gabriel escaped with a minor injury during Sunday's 24-10 win over Minnesota. With Allen Robinson (ribs) and Anthony Miller (shoulder) also managing full participation at practice, Mitchell Trubisky heads into the playoffs with his full complement of weapons. The first test comes this weekend in a wild-card matchup with a shaky Philadelphia pass defense.

  • Suffers rib injury

    Gabriel injured his ribs during Sunday's 24-10 win in Minnesota, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel's injury initially was termed a shoulder concern, but further evaluation helped the Bears hone in on the area at issue. Coach Matt Nagy said Gabriel and Anthony Miller (shoulder) will continue to be examined but believes neither injury is serious. The duo joins Allen Robinson (ribs) as banged-up Bears receivers heading into preparation for a wild-card matchup with the Eagles.

  • Exits with shoulder injury

    Gabriel was forced from Sunday's game against the Vikings after suffering a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Anthony Miller was also ruled out with a shoulder issue with Allen Robinson (ribs) already inactive, leaving the Bears with little depth at wide receiver. Josh Bellamy, Kevin White and Javon Wims are the remaining wideouts on the roster for Chicago.

  • May see bigger role minus Robinson

    Gabriel may have more play-making opportunities available Sunday against the Vikings with Allen Robinson (ribs) inactive for the contest, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has typically spread the wealth around among the Bears' pass catchers this season, but Mayer posits that Robinson's absence coupled with the artificial turf in Minnesota will prove most beneficial to Gabriel, the speediest member of the team's wideout corps. Gabriel didn't need the aid of turf to make things difficult for Minnesota back in Week 11 at Soldier Field, where he turned nine targets into seven receptions for 52 yards and took two carries for 17 yards.

  • Another slow performance

    Gabriel caught three passes for 28 yards while adding one rushing attempt for eight yards in the Bears' 14-9 victory over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Amazingly, Gabriel's three targets and 28 yards were third on the team, but that had to do with an ultra-conservative game plan the Bears used to control the clock. Over the last four games, he hasn't posted 35 receiving yards, and he'll be tough to use in fantasy lineups in Week 17 against a tough Minnesota defense.

  • Struggles continue

    Gabriel caught three passes for 33 yards in Chicago's 24-17 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: After being targeted at least seven times in each of his last four games, Gabriel was targeted just three times as the Chicago offense leaned upon its rushing attack to control the clock. He hasn't scored a touchdown or exceeded 52 yards in any of his last nine games, making him a low-upside option in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Held in check

    Gabriel caught three passes for 22 yards in the Bears' Week 14 victory over the Rams.

    Analysis: Gabriel saw an impressive seven targets, but Mitch Trubisky was erratic as a passer in his return from a shoulder injury. With fewer than 25 yards in each of his last three games with Trubisky under center, along with the fact he hasn't scored a touchdown or surpassed 52 yards in any of his last eight games, he'll be tough to trust in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Disappointing performance

    Gabriel caught three passes for 17 yards in Chicago's Week 13 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: After notching a pair of 100-yard performances earlier in the season, Gabriel hasn't exceeded 52 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in any of his last seven contests. However, he's been targeted at least seven times in each of the last three games, and he's always a threat to make a big play, so his volume and and potential make him a borderline fantasy starter.

  • Co-leads team in receptions

    Gabriel brought in seven of eight targets for 49 yards in the Bears' 23-16 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: Gabriel's reception total drew even with that of Tarik Cohen's for the team lead on the afternoon. The sixth-year wideout now has back-to-back seven-catch efforts, and he's logged an elevated 17 targets overall in the last pair of contests. However, Gabriel hasn't found the end zone since Week 4, a matter he'll try to rectify versus the vulnerable Giants defense in a Week 13 matchup on Dec. 2.

  • Bounces back against Vikings

    Gabriel caught seven balls (on nine targets) for 52 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over Minnesota. He also ran the ball twice for 17 yards.

    Analysis: Gabriel led the Bears in targets, catches and receiving yards a week after not recording a reception. The nine targets were the second-highest total for the 27-year-old. This was likely a result of No. 1 wideout Allen Robinson drawing the much tougher matchup against shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes. A similar target share could unfold Thursday against the Lions if Robinson is forced to match up against Darius Slay.

  • Shut out in Week 10

    Gabriel was targeted three times but failed to catch a pass in Chicago's Week 10 victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: Gabriel was targeted on a deep pass in the end zone, but the ball was overthrown, but otherwise he wasn't a focal point of the Bears' attack in an easy victory over the Lions. After posting a pair of 100-yard games, he's averaged just 31 yards in the four games since, making him a risky option in weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Elevates to full practice

    Gabriel (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel is on a similar path to last week, when he followed up a limited session Wednesday with an uncapped practice one day later. Such progress is welcome after he limped off the field near the conclusion of this past Sunday's win at Buffalo. With Allen Robinson (groin) set to return Week 10 versus the Lions, Gabriel will revert to a secondary option in the Bears' passing attack.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Gabriel (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Gabriel began last week with the same listing, only to practice in full twice to wrap up Week 9 prep. Near the end of Sunday's convincing victory in Buffalo, he limped off the field favoring his right leg, which coach Matt Nagy termed "soreness" afterward, per Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago. There's a chance Gabriel's right knee injury lingers, but the fact he fit in some activity indicates the Bears have instituted a maintenance program of sorts with his availability on gameday in mind.

  • Dealing with leg 'soreness'

    After Sunday's 41-9 win in Buffalo, coach Matt Nagy called Gabriel's right leg injury "soreness," Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.

    Analysis: Despite limping off the field in the fourth quarter, Gabriel appears to have escaped Week 9 with a minor health issue. He finished the day with three catches (on five targets) for 45 yards, the latter of which he's achieved (at least) in four of the last five contests. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether Gabriel's practice reps are impacted.

  • Injures right leg Sunday

    Gabriel limped off the field favoring his right left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 41-9 win at Buffalo, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure with 4:40 left in the game, Gabriel gathered in three of five passes for 45 yards. He's reached that yardage total in four of the past five games, a trend that could continue if his injury isn't serious and No. 1 wide receiver Allen Robinson continues to miss time with a groin concern. The Bears won't practice again until Wednesday, so coach Matt Nagy may not touch on Gabriel's health until midweek.

  • Turns in full practice

    Gabriel (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel's advancement to full participation after being limited in the Bears' first session of the week suggests his knee issue isn't too worrisome. Though he posted a modest line of four receptions for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Jets, Gabriel could handle an elevated role on offense in Week 9 against the Bills with top wideout Allen Robinson (groin) in danger of a second straight absence. Robinson was a spectator in the Bears' practices Wednesday and Thursday.
